摘要

尽管有大量文献报告了许多学科,特别是与科学、技术、工程和数学相关的学科中数据共享的普遍程度,但迄今为止,对社会科学领域期刊中数据共享程度的实证调查却寥寥无几。本研究以教育学这一特殊的社会科学学科为重点,对与教育学数据共享相关的两个问题进行了实证研究。首先,通过搜索随机选取的 47 种教育期刊的网站,仔细研究了期刊数据共享政策。代表性样本中有一半以上的期刊在网站上发表声明,鼓励作者向学术界提供已发表研究的基础数据,但只有少数期刊强制要求共享这些数据。因此,尽管教育领域的期刊充分认识到数据共享的重要性,但似乎有相当多的期刊在这个问题上没有表态。第二个问题涉及期刊所采取的积极立场是否有效,是否能从作者那里获得理想的反 应,从而实现数据共享。我们对在鼓励通过网站共享数据的期刊上发表论文的作者进行了有限的调查,主要是定性调查。结果发现,没有一位作者提供过数据--事实上,有些作者甚至不知道期刊在这方面的政策。由此可见,期刊鼓励更多数据共享的程序用心良苦,但效果明显不佳。作者不愿意共享数据的原因主要有两个:要么作者认为这不符合他们的利益,要么他们认为数据共享对相关数据集来说不合适或不可能。不过,这些与参与数据共享有关的担忧不一定会对数据共享的广泛采用构成不可逾越的 障碍,因为有一些措施可以规避(至少是部分规避)或减轻其影响。

Data sharing in academic publications: The case of education journals
While there is a rich literature reporting the prevalence of data sharing in many academic disciplines, and particularly STEM-related ones, the extent of data sharing in journals in Social Science fields has been subject to only little empirical enquiry, hitherto. Focusing on a particular Social Science discipline, Education, this research examines empirically two related issues associated with data sharing in Education. First, journal data sharing policies were scrutinized via a search of the websites of 47 randomly selected Education journals. Over half of the journals in the representative sample had issued statements on websites encouraging authors to make the data underlying published research, generally available to the academic community, though only a handful of journals make such sharing mandatory. Thus, while the importance of data sharing is well recognized by journals in the Education field, a sizeable minority seems not to have taken a stand on this issue. The second issue related to the efficacy of the positive stance taken by journals, in eliciting the desired response from authors, leading to the sharing of their data. This was probed in a limited, mainly qualitative, survey of the authors of papers published in journals that encouraged data sharing through their websites. It was found that not a single author had made data available – indeed, some authors were even unaware of the journal’s policy on this matter. Thus, journals’ well-intentioned procedures to encourage greater data sharing are seen to be markedly ineffective. Two main sets of reasons were offered to justify author reticence to data share: either authors did not regard it as being in their interest or data sharing was seen to be inappropriate or not possible for the data set in question. However, these fears relating to engaging in data sharing may not necessarily present insurmountable barriers to its wider adoption, as measures are available to circumvent, at least partially, or to meliorate their effect.

期刊介绍: Information is widely recognized as a vital resource in economic development. The skills of information handling traditionally associated with libraries, are now in great demand in all sectors, including government, business and commerce. The education and training of information professionals is, therefore, an issue of growing significance. Education for Information has been since 1983 a forum for debate and discussion on education and training issues in the sphere of information handling. It includes refereed full-length articles and short communications on matters of current concern to educators and practitioners alike. Its News section reports on significant activities and events in the international arena.
